Using QB Online Essentials. 1099 Transaction Detail Report will not display any vendor. Venors are marked for 1099 tracking. Does this version of QB support this report?

Greetings, @paul-e-clift.

Great job on verifying that the vendors are marked for 1099 tracking. The new 1099 Transaction Detail Report is available in QB Online Essentials, but it also requires the vendor's transaction accounts to be selected as well. In order to accomplish this, see below:

Choosing Accounts for 1099 Tracking and Reports

1. From QuickBooks Online, navigate to the Expenses tab and the Vendors section.
2. Click Prepare 1099's.
3. On Step 2 - Accounts, check the box for whichever type of 1099 you're filing.
4. In the drop-down menu ▼, check off each Ledger Account that holds transactions for your 1099 vendors.

We offer an extensive guide on preparing 1099's in QuickBooks Online for your convenience. I'm also attaching a quick video example of this process below:

By following these steps, you'll select the accounts whose transactions will populate the 1099 Transaction Detail Report. I also recommend checking out our 1099 video tutorial for additional information:

I followed these directions, yet I still only get a few of our vendors showing up on the 1099 Transaction Report. It does have this message at the top of the report "java.lang.NullPointerException"

Is this maybe why it is not working for all of our vendors? When do you think Quickbooks Online will get this report fixed? 

I followed these directions that were posted, yet I still get an incomplete list. I got this message at the top of the 1099 Transaction detail Report: "java.lang.nullPointerException". Can you tell me when Quickbooks expect to have this report fixed? Or can you post updated directions that work? 

There's still an on-going investigation with regards to 1099 Transaction Detail Report, accounting109.
